This web site came about as a need to express my devotion and feelings for a place,
and a time, that I hold dear in my heart. I was one person among an amazing group of people who
gave their love and talents to make the weekends at the Paradise Garage as memorable as
they were.

I would like to dedicate this website to my friends and co-workers, because this little corner of the internet belongs to all of us.

This has been on my mind for a long time, I mean since I came into house music. I've always heard about this thing called underground… House is underground. Garage is underground. The underground charts, the underground DJ's… What are we hiding here ?

My actual name is Ibiwunmi Omotayo Olufunke Felicity Olaiya. I am known as WUNMI which is half of my first name!!! I was born in South London, Camberwell, raised in Lagos, Nigeria from age 4 to 14 and then returned to South London (Stockwell).

To some of you, this may seem to be an extreme title for the changing face of house music. Some others
may say that the changes that have taken place in this genre are the direct result of the changes in
society as a whole and the changes in music in particular…

What do all these names have in common? The fact that their
souvenir has been kept strongly alive in the collective memory along the years/decades,
hot on the heels of an obivously prematurated passing.
